Default " Look Osama ,My New Turban Has Arrived From America"

Well ... Here goes ..

A friend of mine has a son who just returned from Iraq and he ask me if I would carve a humorous scene for his son and his buddies in his platoon ..

So I gave it a lot of thought and decided on a minature scene .. And for a bunch of soliders .. It was a little tough thinking of one .. but here it is .

I hope you enjoy ..

The figures are basswood and 3 inches tall except the camel ..

Gene

Fantastic! Can't wait until we actually hit that target but then again, I'd imagine that being confined to a cave just might be the most just punishment.

Nice laugh!
